For what it's worth, I had a hell of a time with SATA & PATA drives in my
ASUS Pundit-R. (250GB Maxtor midline SATA & NEC DVD-RW or ASUS DVD-RW
drives)

DMA acceleration would not work on either PATA DVD drive, some FC3 kernels
would segfault on startup, Knoppix or Gentoo LiveCDs would not boot, and
other problems.

I dropped to a 160GB Seagate PATA drive, and aside from it filling up rather
quickly, all the problems went away. That won't solve your problems, but 2
trips to ASUS RMA and 4 months didn't fix mine either...
